This posting would like to inform one and all that in addition to the Sunday and Tuesday classes a CW net on Mondays at 7 PM EST run by Bill W4DFP will be starting on the 30th. This net is being supplied independent of the class and is being made available for your use and enjoyment. This Monday net is not a requirement of the class, but we would hope you would become involved for not only the learning experience, but for the fun it offers.

We strongly suggest that each of you get your code oscillators wired to the line in of your computer sound card. This would provide you with CW access when using EchoLink.

The Monday code net will NOT be held on the *SCARS* server. We will be using the KY6V EchoLink node 23089 and it will be necessary for you to connect to that system direct when wishing to participate.

INFORMATION FOR THOSE INTERESTED: Southcars will be offering a Morse code class starting at the end of this month. A portion of the class syllabus is shown below. Class material will be posted on this website in the near future.

SOUTHCARS OUTREACH INTERNATIONAL MORSE CODE CLASS

PURPOSE: To provide class instruction relative to learning the fundamental aspects of a person’s ability to receive and transmit the International Morse code.

WHERE: The *SCARS* server, EchoLink node 96140, or IRLP node 9614. Class material may be found on our website at WWW.VOIP.SOUTHCARS.COM, and in specific our download section found on the homepage of this site. Additionally general information may be found in our Outreach Corner section in the lower right side of the sites home page.

CLASS SCHEDULE: Two weekly one hour sessions conducted on Sunday and Tuesday at 7 PM EST (0000 Z) starting Sunday January 30th, and completing on Tuesday February 22nd.

GENERAL STATEMENT & APPROACH:

The first class and those to follow will employ techniques that will strive to impart comfortable ways of understanding, learning, mastering, and using the art of Morse code. We will be starting by learning the alphabet in groups of five letters at a time, will then progress to the numbers, and finally learn some of the commonly used punctuation and abbreviations.

Please take note of the posted addendums to this syllabus which includes audio files, and written information that aids to this learning process.
